Dear families,
It’s been a busy and exciting week. Thank you to our families for the #sneakerswalk on Wednesday. We had a great turnout, and we encourage families to continue to walk to school to avoid the congestion in the drop off area.
We had a wonderful week of music too! Thank you to Mrs. Mushani for her work with the Memory Boosters club. We had 20 senior citizens visit our school to watch our students perform. Thank you to Mr. Martin and Mrs. Roth for an amazing Kodaly Choir.
We had another successful movie night. Thank you to our families for coming out to see the Batman Lego movie. Our students were respectful and left the gym clean. Way to go Sting!
Tomorrow, May 5 is a P.A. Day. The school will be closed for students as the teachers are participating in workshops.
If you are moving or if you know families new to the area, please call the office to help us organize the school for the upcoming school year.
Andrea Michelutti, Principal
CANADA 150th!
What is the cost to attend the show?
Cost: $2.00 cash per person. Ushers will collect your money at the front door. The money will be used towards the purchase of the students’ t-shirts and the new sound equipment required for the school.
What should my child wear?
Jeans, capris, shorts or skirt and a neutral fitted shirt. They will be given a shirt to wear when they arrive.
When should I drop my child off?
Please use the front door of the school for all entry into in the building. All other doors will be locked. Please drop your child off at 6 p.m. Attendance will be taken at that time.
What time does the show start?
The show will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. in the gym.
Where should my child go the night of the concert?
Kindergarten parents: Please walk your child to their regular classroom. At the end of the concert, kindergarten students will be picked up from their classroom.
Gr 1-8: Ushers will take students to the meeting place for each grade. There will be signs posted in the front lobby and by the gym to where you can find your child.
How long approximately is the performance?
Just over an hour.
